William Perlman/The Star-LedgerThe Jets' revolving door at punter continued Monday, when the team signed Steve Weatherford, their sixth punter since the end of last season.

The Jets continued to play musical chairs at punter Monday as they released A.J. Trapasso and signed Steve Weatherford, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak for the players or the team.

The Jets claimed Trapasso, a rookie free agent, off waivers Sunday from the Titans. But this morning, they worked out Weatherford and decided to sign him and release Trapasso. Weatherford, entering his fourth season, has a 43.5 career average.

Weatherford, who was cut by the Jaguars on Saturday, has played with the Saints, Chiefs and Jaguars. He can also kick off.

Jets coach Rex Ryan has been unhappy with his punting situation for some time. The team has gone through T.J. Conley, Ken Parrish, Glenn Pakulak, Reggie Hodges and Trapasso this preseason.
